A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction on Friday, partially blocking President Trump's plan to fund a border wall with Mexico using money from the Defense Department.
California U.S. District Court Judge Haywood Gilliam, who was appointed by former President Obama, issued the order, which does not fully halt construction but would limit additional border fencing to specific areas. It would also block the transfer of about $1 billion in Pentagon funds from various projects to pay for the construction of a wall.
Gillam argued "irreparable harm" would result if the administration were allowed to proceed while the case is pending.
"Because the Court has found that Plaintiffs are likely to show that Defendants actions exceeded their statutory authority, and that irreparable harm will result from those actions, a preliminary injunction must issue pending a resolution of the merits of the case," he said in court.

AG Barr said that there have been 37 injuctions issued against Trump. There had been 27 in the entire 20th century.
I believe you are correct.
However, Paul Ryan wasnt looking for every opportunity he could to impeach Obama.
How long before an Obama judge issues an injunction against the presidents order to release information on the coup attempt?
Congress clearly gave the president the authority. The law they wrote is quite clear. If only we could send these judges packing when they choose to ignore the law.
It’s coming. It’s easy to find a partisan judge to rule anything in favor of the dems, even if he gets slapped down later.
Agreed, keep building.
Judicial branch has _no_ such authority. None.
Jail for judges who usurp their lawful authority.
The judicial branch is organized crime, pretending to have powers to make ruling on all things. They granted themselves these imaginary powers. This branch denies We-The-People the right to lawful governmental operation, over and over again.
Stop judicial tyranny; or perish.
Democrats were okay with Obama giving the Iranian government billions in cash to fund terrorism.
